As Global, a private Canadian TV network, revealed its 2010 fall primetime schedule grid mostly constituted of American shows (shame!), it also released the promo pictures of its only original series for this season: Shattered.

This show created by Rick Drew was slated to be aired by Showcase, a Canadian cable network. However, CanWest, the corporation that owns Global and Showcase, moved Shattered to Global. The story follows Ben Sullivan (Callum Keith Rennie), a homicide detective from Vancouver with a multiple personality disorder. Obviously, he doesn't want to reveal that psychological disorder to his colleagues.

In the first moments of the series, Ben and his new partner, Amy Lynch (Camille Sullivan), pursue a murder suspect and Lynch is forced to shoot. The resulting SIU investigation bonds the two partners in blood. Moreover, as Ben and Amy work on homicide cases, he doesn't know which personality will surface or when it will.
